Siheyuan: Xu Damao, I want to go to the moon

Xu Damao consulted newspapers, library materials, and asked department stores, only then did he know that there were tape recorders in the country.

In 51 and 53, the Modu Zhongsheng Electrical Works Company produced China's first steel wire recorder and magnetic tape recorder respectively - but the size of the tape and the recording quality... were not for civilian use at all, and were more used for recording scientific research and large-scale events and meetings.

Not to mention that Xu Damao couldn’t buy it, he couldn’t use it even if he bought it.

As far as he could remember, that type of cassette tape was developed by the Dutch Philips Company in 63. It was not until 79 that stereo radios began to enter China. At that time, the most mainstream brand entering the country was Sanyo.

This is also because he is a digital media major and has some knowledge of the history of media development.

Moreover, after taking the second stage strengthening potion, he felt that many of the things that he had glanced at before were slowly remembered.

I asked the system and it turns out that the soul's information storage capacity is much greater than that of brain cells. The reason why we couldn't remember things before was because the brain didn't have enough synapses and the brain wasn't developed enough. So even if there were records, we couldn't find them or activate them, and they were slowly forgotten.

In other words, the information in the soul (main hard drive information) cannot be loaded and burned into the brain (backup disk, temporary memory, CPU, GPU, etc.). The hardware is too poor to run it and it will burn out. Therefore, in order to protect itself, the brain will automatically delete and forget useless information.

Now, of course, there is no restriction in this regard. As long as he tries hard to recall and think more, he will naturally activate the "dead memories" from the past. His brain now can handle it!

So, his idea now is to see if he can get a tape recorder, and then record some songs. With Section Chief Huang's B-BOX, he can also use the B-BOX to harmonize, and add the 20-member group from Li Huaide's side, Liu Lan's folk songs...

Putting these together, it shouldn't be difficult to make an accompaniment tape, right?

Then, home KTV was born ahead of time! There were also CD players, Walkman, portable radios, etc.

Why not have some fun yourself and then earn foreign exchange by exporting?

Director Yang and other leaders all looked downcast. You don’t even want 25,000 rubles, but you want these things that you can’t eat or drink?

What are you planning?

The big leader winked at Xu Damao frantically: "Comrade Xu Damao, you should think carefully about it. Even if you can't exchange it for industrial equipment, you can exchange it for some technology..."

Maxim was also stunned. The Chinese were very enthusiastic towards them, but they also had requests. They wanted to squeeze out all their technology or get more equipment.

But Xu Damao only wanted music equipment? Why?

"Comrade Xu Damao, why? Why do you only want these musical equipment? You are different from the other Chinese people I know."

Xu Damao scratched his head and said irritably, "Didn't I win first place yesterday? My wife asked me to sing it for her as soon as she got home. I sang it for a full six times!"

"The girls in my courtyard also asked me to sing for them, as well as my own sisters and friends I know..."

"The most important thing is that they want me to accompany them, and they also want to learn to sing... I am about to collapse..."

"I can't ask Section Chief Huang and Director Li's choir to go back and accompany them, right?"

"So, why not just bring out an accompaniment tape?"

"But nowadays there are recording equipment and tape recorders. I'm just a projectionist. How can I not get them?"

"Comrade Maxim, you are a senior music lover, so you must have a way to get these things, right? Why don't we exchange them?"

Then, everyone was stunned——

Why are you giving up such a great opportunity to get equipment and technology for the country, and instead just replace the recording equipment to make an accompaniment tape for your wife?

That's it?

Everyone's faces turned pale. This Xu Damao is so narrow-minded!

But Maxim suddenly stretched out his hand, excitedly held Xu Damao's hand tightly and shook it.

"Comrade Xu Damao, you are a pure musician! I am proud to know a genius like you!"

“I believe that one day your name will spread all over the world with the speakers and “Little River Flowing Water 1952”!”

"I sincerely hope that one day you will come to visit our country. I will greet you with the highest courtesy and introduce you to my friends in the music industry. They will definitely like you!"

This also confused Xu Damao. I just complained a few words casually. Why are you suddenly so excited and enthusiastic?

The big boss didn't know what he was thinking at this time, and suddenly asked: "You want to change these just so that your wife can sing? Don't you think about it?"

Factory Director Yang also expressed his opinion: "Yes, Xu Damao, now the people of the whole country are tightening their belts to focus on production and development of our country, but you only want to enjoy yourself. This is not a good atmosphere... How about changing your request? Discuss it with Comrade Maxim again?"

He has the same idea as the big boss. Changing equipment and technology is the most important thing. Why get a tape recorder?

Xu Damao also spread his hands indifferently: "As for me, I can't have children, I can't pursue a career in politics, I can't stand being controlled by others, I can't join the army to serve the country, I'm not short of money, and I don't have much to pursue. My wife doesn't despise me and treats me so well, is it okay for me to fulfill her little wish?"

"Besides, I donated my small courtyard to the martyrs' families for free until 2000 to contribute to the country. Also, showing movies to migrant workers is my job. I have never complained about the hardship. Even if I want to farm to improve people's livelihood, there is no land for me to farm? I have done everything I can, what else do you want me to do?"

"I have no problem with enduring hardships, it's a good quality. But I have the material means, and I haven't stolen or robbed anyone, so why should I endure hardships? And why should I bring my wife along with me? I'm a man, and it's only natural for me to let my wife live a good life!"

"I have done my duty to the country, to the farmers, and to my job. The only person I feel sorry for is my wife."

"I just want her to live a better life, what's wrong?"

Being morally blackmailed by his superiors and Director Yang, Xu Damao became a little impatient.

Although he understands the qualities of people in this era and what the top leaders and Director Yang are thinking, you can't force me to do anything.

Understanding and doing things are two different things. They also force me to ask Maxim, my new friend, for something. Doesn't that mean he is also violating the ZC of their country?

Xu Damao can't do this.

But Maxim suddenly waved his hand and said to Director Yang and the leaders: "Please do not interfere with Comrade Xu Damao's original intention. This is not hedonism, but the exploration and ultimate pursuit of music art!"

"You just need the technology, right? I'll make the decision. I'll send you a copy of XXXX special steel smelting technology tomorrow as a thank you gift to Comrade Xu Damao!"

"Of course, Comrade Xu Damao, don't worry. I will try to get you as much equipment as possible! I have quite a few connections in the music industry in the Bear Country!"

“Also, please understand that a truly pure artist’s way of thinking is different from ours. The best way to respect him is to let him develop freely and grow wildly! You may not understand him, but please don’t slander him.”

Director Yang and the top leaders were all green with anger. All their previous persuasion, invitations to dinner and gifts were useless, but now he was taking the initiative to hand over a piece of technology... Although it was not particularly important, it filled the gap in their own special steel technology, and also pushed Xu Damao to the level of a "pure artist".

He just plays movies!

I was still an apprentice last month!

But the final result was good. The speaker was given to Xu Damao as a gift, Maxim also gave a return gift, and the Ministry of Metallurgy got the technology it wanted.

However, Director Yang and the senior leaders always felt that they had taken huge advantage of Xu Damao, and that they had been villains in vain. If they didn't do something now, they would feel like they owed something.

And give out bonuses?

Xu Damao’s father-in-law is Lou Bancheng, he really is not short of money!

If there is less, it will be embarrassing; if there is more, there is no reason to take it out.

Suddenly, the leader's eyes turned, as if he suddenly thought of something.

"Xu Damao, how about we build a new speaker factory and you become the deputy director——"

"Will you do it?"
